I hope you post some of that on your blog one day! WHY HAVEN'T THEY EVER BUILT THAT??? They should put it into at least ONE of the Disney parks. Hey Disney....put it into DCA and it might even make me "like" that park!<br /><br />Ha, I had forgotten all about the Neon Cactus!TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-38474207256440474512010-07-30T03:06:42.526-07:002010-07-30T03:06:42.526-07:00CORRECTION: page 172 and 173!!

In 1992 me and a reluctant friend went thru the ENTIRE hotel (minus the guest rooms) and photographed these images--at the time most of them I had never seen before ---it was better than The Disney Gallery!! The monorail/viewliner appeared in hallway west of the Marina Tower's elevator lobby, and in two meeting rooms in the Bonita Tower!<br /><br />My favorite DL HOtel "Gallery" was in the lower and upper hallways surrounding the Neon Cactus : about 20 pieces of WESTERN RIVER EXPEDITION concept art by Marc Davis, Mary Blair and possibly another artist!MIKE COZARThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03616421722228113410noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-1283573848553322542010-07-28T11:23:55.398-07:002010-07-28T11:23:55.398-07:00Major, there wasn't anything below or next to ...Major, there wasn't anything below or next to the painting to tell us the date or the artist's name, but now that you mention it...it sure does look like it could be Herb Ryman's work.TokyoMagic!https://www.blogger.com/profile/16340756514811789233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2440013033477237104.post-58864469120887187142010-07-28T08:37:48.497-07:002010-07-28T08:37:48.497-07:00Whoa, that's pretty cool!
